NYC SeedStart Program



Check out NYC Seedstart.comProgram
SeedStart is interested in companies focusing on advertising infrastructure, e-commerce, digital content, and mobile technology.

Our goal is to help close the gap between funding and the teams who are just getting started in NYC. A major advantage of SeedStart Media is the vertical approach to the program. By involving professionals from the venture capital and startup world as well as mentors from large media companies, a full complement of guidance and marketplace feedback can be combined into the same program. Some example applications include companies that can deliver creative ideas in relation to digital and mobile advertising, virtual publications, mobile e-commerce platforms, and cloud computing in relation to media businesses.


SeedStart Media will provide finalists access to entrepreneurial mentors, $20,000 in funding, work-space, and partner and customer introductions for the company. The program will also conclude with an investor pitch day that will allow the teams a further opportunity to raise more capital.
